NCB did not follow the procedures
Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Shouvik’s lawyers Ayaz Khan and Zehra Charania had filed an application in the special court. In this, he argued in his defense that the necessary procedure for the process of freezing bank accounts was not followed. Giving legal arguments, the actress’s lawyer said that Section 68F of the Act 1985 has been violated by NCB. It was also argued that there was failure in obtaining necessary approvals within the stipulated time limit. According to the lawyer, for this reason this action was declared illegal or unlawful.

Request was made to unfreeze the account
At the same time, the government side opposed the request to unfreeze Rhea Chakraborty’s accounts and also cited Rhea Chakraborty’s statement in which she had claimed to be an active member of a drug syndicate. He also talked about staying in touch with the peddlers. In opposition to Rhea, the government lawyer also said that the officials had valid reasons for freezing the accounts and the action taken during the investigation was correct.
